Özet:

Gold, which has been the symbol of wealth throughout human history, has been the most important precious metal that has kept its value for thousands of years and has continually increased its value. In ancient times it was commonly used in making money and as a payment tool, but today, in addition to being used as jewelry and in the industrial field, it also increases its importance as an investment tool every day. The frequent economic volatility in recent years has reduced the confidence in various investment instruments for individuals and financial institutions, making gold a more preferred investment instrument and its attractiveness a constantly increasing safe port in times of crisis. At the scale of central banks and governments, the gold country also has an indispensable place and importance in preserving the value of its currencies and assets. The study in the form of the literature study is aimed at making an assessment of the global supply and demand of this valuable metal, which has increased significantly under the influence of the country’s central banks’ excessive money supply and financial crises in recent years, and the study of the worldwide gold markets.
